Welcome Prof Lowes and classmates

2D Projectile Motion Physics for High School Students

This wiki was created by John Faig and Alejandro Heyworth as part of the MSTU4050 curriculum. The purpose of the project was to design the curriculum for an online course. We incorporated elements from other online courses to make the lessons comprehensive and engaging.

Introduction to Physics - Grade 9/10

• Course Resources - Important applets, links and sample screen shots.
• Student Orientation - Introduction to the course and instructions for required course technology resources
• Student weekly lessons contain multimedia content, questions, and activities
  • Week 1 - Vectors
  • Week 2 - One-dimensional projectile motion
  • Week 3 - Two-dimensional motion
  • Week 4 - Putting it all together - The Grand Projectile Challenge!
• Teacher Orientation - Administrative information about the course and technology. Tips on how to make the course successful.
• Teacher weekly lesson notes
  • Week 1 - Vectors
  • Week 2 - One-dimensional projectile motion
  • Week 3 - Two-dimensional motion
  • Week 4 - Putting it all together - The Grand Projectile Challenge!
• Concepts and Definitions - Reference material for the course. Terms have links into this page for easy reference.
• Future Directions - After completing the course, we reviewed it using research about successful online courses. We created a list of ways to enhance the course and make it accessible by a larger range of students.
• Initial Brainstorming - Please ignore this page; it contains informal notes.
